Christmas Trees Have Arrived!
Armstrong Garden Centers

Fresh cut Christmas trees are more popular than artificial trees this Christmas According to the Christmas Tree Promotion Board, a national research and promotion program who says its mission is to share the benefits of fresh Christmas trees, there has been an increase in interest and sales of fresh Christmas trees due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Board says more people are home due to pandemic restrictions and they realize they have time to care for and water a live Christmas tree and stir-crazy families are looking for a safe way to create NEW holiday memories.
The team at the Armstrong Garden Center store in Pasadena says there’s an interest in a variety of trees and the vibrant Christmas colors of Poinsettias are also popular right, every variety from small desk Poinsettias to, yes, a Poinsettia tree.
Check the Armstrong Garden Centers website for information about Covid-19 regulated in-store shopping and online ordering and delivery.
